There is a ground that works for the NRA. Like why do high capacity guns need to be sold to minors? For every deranged kid that shoots up a public building, the gun lobby looks bad. So let a few reasonable laws exist without scourged earth rhetoric

Again - there are already reasonable laws on the books.

Again - Cruz was investigated 39 times but never arrested (including bringing ammo to school) because of an Obama order to NOT arrest students because that’ll give them a criminal record.

That same criminal record that was checked when he purchased the guns.

I will not allow my rights to be further impeded because some whining snot nosed punks backed by a socialist oppression force doesn’t like me or my views - especially when the safeguards already in place were wantonly violated.

Oh, I dunno. How about: Why are illegal drugs like heroin and crack sold to minors?

Why does making something previously legal illegal create an entirely new criminal class, make criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens, and create a Black Market for the now-contraband item?

For every deranged kid that shoots up a public building, the gun lobby looks bad.

How do the "deranged kids" look? Their parents? How about school administrators and LEO's who ignore multiple warnings, how do they look?

Trump is on very, very thin ice.

They have a law in Florida they could have used to seize his firearms temporarily until they could determine he was indeed a fruitcake.

Can you think of any other incidents perpetrated by a legal purchase by someone under 21? It's a straw man. Kids under 21 kill people almost daily in Chicago and other major cities. They aren't purchased legally. When that doesn't work, take the next step, recognize that handguns kill more than long arms, ban all semi automatics and confiscate what's out there.

There are no reasonable gun laws. If someone is to evil to own a gun then he is to evil to be among civilized citizens.

The 2nd did not grant us the right to bear arms it nearly recognized that we have a God given right to keep an bear arms and the government has no say about it. It prohibits the government from making any law that infringes on that right.

Oh well it was good while it lasted.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan

Let’s make the minimum age for selective service 21. Also, voting age 21. Right?
